I am repeating the scientific consensus that race is not a scientific concept. It is a political concept.

Here is the wikipedia article on scientific racism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism

The introductory references on the topic, which you can find at the bottom of the page, have these titles:

"A brave old world: an analysis of scientific racism and BiDil"

"Human races are not like dog breeds: refuting a racist analogy".

"How Scientific Taxonomy Constructed the Myth of Race"

It's all there in black & white, very simple to understand. This isn't some controversial topic. It has experts in consensus on one side and politically motivated propaganda on the other. It has been this way for a very long time. It is a settled question. If you don't understand that it's because you don't care to read and learn. At this point if you choose to continue in your ignorance it is entirely on you.
